We are working in a state that is ground zero for fossil fuel exploitation and where there is a high degree of climate denial. </p><p>Yet we have had success defeating the expansion of coal mining and export. We have stood up to stop our monopoly utility, NorthWestern Energy, from building new methane generators. At public hearings, street demonstrations, and courtrooms we bring urgency to the climate movement. In 2021, we commissioned a modeling study by a Colorado firm, Vibrant Clean Energy, that proved the cleanest energy is now the cheapest energy. As determined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we are in "a code red for humanity" and must cut greenhouse gas emissions immediately to make the Great Transition to a 100-percent carbon-free Montana.</p><p>Jeff Smith, co-chair, 350 Montana, P.O.
